Watching Brief (March 2003 - May 2004)
A watching brief was undertaken between March 2003 and May 2004 on water mains renewal in the archaeologically sensitive areas of Musselburgh, Fisherrow and Inveresk. All pipe track digging was monitored and all excavations were recorded. A number of archaeological deposits were recorded in section and sampled. These included medieval and post-medieval midden deposits and features in Musselburgh and Fisherrow, and a buried soil horizon and a ditch on Inveresk Brae that probably relate to the nearby vicus of Inveresk Roman fort. A fragment of Samian ware and pieces of hypocaust tile were recovered from the ditch. In addition, a number of stone-built culverts and a section of the town mill lade were recorded.
Report to be lodged with East Lothian SMR and the NMRS.
